A terrified mother searching frantically for her missing 4-year-old son. A shocked business owner finding his store ransacked by thieves. A traumatized teen who was just assaulted in a dark alley by a stranger. An anxious mispallel worries about suspicious individuals hanging around his shul.

These are just a smattering of the broad range of incidents Staten Island Shomrim responds to each and every day – quietly, without fanfare, and with the utmost professionalism.

Staten Island Shomrim, whose members had been part of the broader NYC Shomrim network, launched as a separate branch of the organization as the Staten Island community grew – and with it, its needs. Since its inception, Staten Island Shomrim has become the trusted go-to for residents experiencing non-medical emergencies and other urgent matters.

Funds are now urgently needed to bolster their high-tech radio and communications systems, vital for swift and effective response in critical moments. Similarly, expanding its surveillance camera network is paramount, providing crucial insights and aiding in time-sensitive situations. Additionally, funds are essential for acquiring equipment to address diverse challenges, including assisting flood-affected individuals, conducting search-and-rescue missions, purchasing and maintaining patrol and off-road vehicles, and paying Shabbos Patrol expenses.
